Jason Gobin & Trevor Hunt

August

In August we present exhibitions by Jason Gobin (Tulalip Nation) and Trevor Hunt (Kwaguʼł Nation), two mid-career artists creating contemporary versions of traditional objects such as masks, paddles, and panels.

Gobin– known as Hik Stubs in the Tulalip dialect–focuses on the revitalization of Salish artforms through the use of multiple media, including painting, carving, weaving, and digital. Gobin is also a commercial fisherman, and the caretaker and one of the skippers for the tribal sea-going canoes at Tulalip.

Hunt hails from farther up the Northwest Coast, and is part of the famed Hunt family of Fort Rupert on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. He comes from a long line of hereditary carvers and artists that have been instrumental in the survival of the Kwaguʼł art form on the Northwest Coast. His father is Stan Hunt, his grandfather was Henry Hunt and his great-grandfather was Mungo Martin.
